Photo of the Week: Horstman Hut, Whistler Blackcomb
It’s hard to fathom the vastness of Whistler Blackcomb ski resort. Between the two mountains, this place is truly colossal. I snapped this photo at the top of Blackcomb at Horstman Hut, a no-frills dining cabin at an elevation of a few feet shy of 7,500 feet.
